Glow brings numerous powdered wonders of the herbal world together to exfoliate your face on a bi-weekly basis.

Exfoliation is a valuable treatment in skincare for unclogging pores, removing dull, dead skin cells and deep cleansing the skin. However, scrubbing your face like it's the kitchen floor is not ideal. Your facial skin is tender and easily abraded, and physical exfoliants can often be too aggressive, leaving micro-tears in the skin. Exfoliating your face is something to be done delicately by the right ingredients. Glow fulfills that important job for you easily.

This preservative-free, powdered Vitamin C skin treatment has powdered organic herbs and grains, clays, fruit enzymes and more to gently sweep over skin and loosen debris without damage to skin. The acids, enzymes and fiber work hard for you so you don't have to treat your skin like a scullery maid with a soup pot.

Many exfoliants perform just one function, but not ours. Glow is versatile and counteracts the appearance of irritation while it works. Organic Oat flour creates a soothing, Beta-glucan rich base for the rest of our very active ingredients. Organic Astagalus root joins it to improve the appearance of inflammation. We know most of our customers have at least moderately sensitive skin and took that into consideration when designing this recipe.

Powdered Organic Coconut water adds Vitamin C and a range of balancing minerals. Just like it hydrates your insides it performs the same for your skin when applied topically. Coconut water also contains Kinetin, a substance that can improve the look of even coloration in skin and decrease the appearance of wrinkling. These properties make coconut water a valuable skin saver!

Papain and 8% Vitamin C star as the really powerful exfoliating agents. Papain is an enzyme from Papaya that breaks down proteins. It gently works on dead skin cells in synergy with Vitamin C, which as an acid loosens the "glue" that holds the Stratum Corneum layer of skin cells together, allowing them to lift away easily. The level of Vitamin C in this powder is a potent contributor to the appearance of skin brightness, firmness, and decreases the look of fine lines.

Green Coffee extract adds a shot of tightening caffeine for skin and further antioxidants, and Panax Ginseng extract, standardized for Ginsenoside helps create an energized appearance. Bentonite clay pulls toxins out of the skin like a magnet, and a range of antioxidant-rich herbs such as Organic Olive Leaf and Turmeric boost Glow's youth promoting offerings. Our diverse recipe is an ode to nearly all parts of plants, and the total recipe creates the look of youthful, well-maintained skin when used routinely. It's like a vitamin shot in a smoothie, making your daily cleanse that much better.

All told this is the specialty product to add to your regimen to support the appearance of your skin's clarity, brightness and firmness. Just once or twice a week exfoliation can offer major benefits in improving the absorption of your daily anti-aging serums and moisturizers, as well as keeping pores clear. Enhance your overall skincare results in just one easy step with Glow.

I love Blissoma products and I've tried almost all of them (with the exception of the two new facial oils). I was SUPER excited about this scrub since it is GMO-free, all-natural/organic, and comes in a versatile powder form that lacks preservatives. I was really hoping to fall in love with this and find my holy grail scrub. Unfortunately, after several usage attempts I have to say that I'm pretty torn over it. The scrub did provide me with what I feel is smoother, brighter, and cleaner skin, however, there are a couple of issues that keep me from giving it a perfect score. First, I am a redhead with super pale skin. Whenever I use this with or after an oil-based cleanser(like Fresh)the color from the turmeric sticks to my skin and leaves behind a yellowish tint. The yellow cast is okay at night because no one sees me and the tint usually comes off after I wash again in the morning. During the daytime, however, I think the yellow tone the scrub leaves behind does not look flattering on me. Second, the smell of the product is very earthy and natural which is great for those with sensitivities, but it's not my favorite scent. Many other Blissoma products that are naturally scented with essential oils smell more pleasing to me than this scrub. I suspect I don't like the smell of turmeric much but since the product is effective, I can deal with the earthy scent. Third, I find it a bit hard to get the right water to powder ratio to make a paste that will glide over my skin. The instructions say to massage the scrub into skin 2-3 minutes but I have a hard time moving the scrub around my face for more than 30 seconds or so without it drying out and having to add more water which in turn makes the scrub drip off my face. I don't like feeling like I'm wasting the product this way. For this reason, my favorite way to use it is mixed with a cream cleanser and some water, but again, the oil from the cream cleanser tends to cause the turmeric in the scrub to cling to my face leaving a yellow stain. Maybe the aforementioned issues are just due to a user error on my part as I know this scrub does in fact work. I just can't seem to make it work wonders for MY skin. So, if I'm being honest, I will have to give the Glow scrub a score of 2.5 (but will round up to 3)since I have mixed feelings about it. It's a shame I'm on the fence because I really wish it would have worked out better for me.

Love this exfoliant - leaves my skin feeling fresh

I love Good Earth Exfoliant Powder. The second I put it in the palm of my hand I could tell this is what a true beauty product should feel, look and smell likeÉnatural. It is a gentle exfoliant leaving my skin feeling fresh and not over scrubbed. I have been using as directed with water. Favorite way to use it is right before the shower and rinse off in a the shower. My mind feels good as well knowing I am supporting a small batch company.

Earthy goodness

Although the smell of this product is much more earthy than I am used to, Glow leaves me with smoother, brighter, and cleaner skin. It took me a few times of use to get the water to powder ratio correct to make a paste to be able to spread around evenly. If you can get past the smell it's a great product.

Good Earth Exfoliant Powder

I am not one to quickly write reviews unless I've tried and tested a product for a while. I must say this is one of my favorite Blissoma products. I still experience clogged pores and adult acne from time to time. I have found that when I consistently use this exfoliant powder, my face immediately looks brighter and my blemishes fade and pores tighten. For best results, I find that it's important to follow the instructions (use 3-4x/week).

So happy I added Glow!

I am so happy I added Glow to my skincare routine. I have only used it about once a week, but it feels so good. I have been mixing a very small amount with Fresh, my face wash and the fine granules exfoliate and leave my skin feeling soft and clean. I am going to start using it twice a week since I don't have any sensitivities since I started using Blissoma several years ago. Thanks for another great product!

Q:I love Blissoma products and am super excited about the new goodies you have created. I am dying to try this scrub but wanted to ask about a couple of the ingredients first. May I ask, are the papain and maltodxtrin in this item GMO-free? I know that papain is derived from papayas which are a large GMO crop and that maltodextrin can be derived from corn which is another widespread GMO crop. From my experience with your company, I know that you carefully source quality ingredients for your products. I have my fingers crossed that this item is GMO-free but just had to double-check before purchasing it. Thanks!

Directions:

Remove makeup and moisten the skin. Place 1/2 tsp of powder in your palm. Wet it and mix with fingers to create a paste. Apply to damp skin alone or mix into your facial cleanser. Massage the powder into the skin for at least 2 to 3 minutes with gentle pressure, avoiding the eye area. When the paste begins to dry remove it with warm water and gently pat dry. Moisturize to finish the skin. Optimal usage of 2 to 3 times per week.

This product is very active and should not be used as a daily cleanser, or irritation may result. For many people with normal skin type once per week may be adequate. More frequent usage would be for individuals with skin that is sluggish and congested, hyperpigmented, or mature with fine lines to assist with rejuvenating these specific issues.

While this product is excellent for congested skin and blackheads we do not recommend it be used on cystic acne or broken skin due to the possibility of further irritation.

This product has no added scent and will smell slightly earthy/oaty/herbaceous when dry and a little stronger when wet. We chose to add no scents so the product would be the most applicable for different skin types, including allergy-prone skin. If you prefer a different scent we highly recommend combining this exfoliation treatment with your liquid cleanser. It will blend well with any cream or gel cleanser and the scent of the liquid cleanser will obscure the aroma of the scrub. Fresh and Free both work extremely well to suspend this product and completely cover any earthy aroma it has.

Please note: the turmeric content in this blend may stain washcloths. Rinsing with simply hands and water will remove the product adequately from skin and avoid damage to linens.
